Hair Disorders and Hair Loss Treatment

What is Hair Loss?

Hair naturally goes through a daily shedding cycle, with an average of 100 strands falling out per day. While this is normal, factors such as genetics, stress, nutritional deficiencies, and hormonal changes can increase hair loss. If left untreated, chronic or temporary hair loss may lead to permanent hair thinning or baldness.

Causes of Hair Loss

Hair loss can stem from various causes, which must be thoroughly analyzed to determine the appropriate treatment:

• Genetic hair loss (Androgenetic Alopecia): Caused by hereditary factors, commonly seen in men.
• Nutritional deficiencies: Insufficient protein, vitamin, or mineral intake.
• Fungal infections: These can damage hair follicles, leading to hair loss.
• Medication side effects: Certain medications can trigger hair loss as a side effect.
• Stress: Excessive stress can disrupt the natural hair growth cycle.
• Postpartum and menopause: Hormonal changes during these periods can result in hair shedding.
• Scarring Alopecia: Permanent hair loss caused by damage to the hair follicles.
• Improper hair care: Harsh styling practices and chemical treatments can weaken hair and cause it to fall out.

Hair Loss Treatment Methods

• Medication-Based Treatment
  • Vitamins and minerals: Provide the necessary nutrients for healthy hair.
  • Shampoos and creams: Help reduce hair loss and support scalp health.
  • Underlying condition treatment: Addressing any medical issues contributing to hair loss.
• Hair Mesotherapy
  • This method involves injecting vitamins, minerals, and amino acids directly into the scalp to nourish and strengthen hair follicles. It reduces hair loss and encourages new hair growth.
• Hair PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Therapy
  • Commonly used for genetic and male-pattern hair loss, PRP therapy enhances blood circulation in the scalp and promotes the release of growth factors, which strengthens and rejuvenates hair.
• Exosome Therapy
  • A cutting-edge cellular treatment, exosome therapy helps regenerate hair follicles by restructuring cells. This method accelerates hair renewal and significantly reduces hair loss.

Can Lost Hair Regrow?

With the right treatments, hair loss can be slowed or stopped, and dormant hair follicles can be reactivated to promote new hair growth.
